SERVING: Strawberry sauce is a great addition to ice cream, pancakes, homemade crepes, or waffles. Another good use is as a strawberry topping for panna cotta or cheesecake.
STORAGE: Store leftover strawberry sauce in the refrigerator in a lidded airtight container, where it will keep for about 3-5 days.
Adjust the amount of sugar in the sauce to your taste. Ripe strawberries will call for less sugar, resulting in a healthier sauce.
